Applies to:

Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.2.0.2 and later   [Release: 10.2 and later ]
Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit)
***Checked for relevance on 12-Nov-2010***

Symptoms

Setup automated database startup/shutdown using dbstart/dbshut scripts but error is returned from call to dbora script.

Whenever /etc/init.d/dbora is invoked, the dbstart and dbshut return the error:
" ../bin/dbshut: test: argument expected "

A similar issue may result in errors such as:   ORACLE_HOME=<path to ORACLE_HOME>: is not an identifier

 

Cause

The dbstart/dbshut scripts require bash to work properly as it contains bash style commands.

Add "#!/bin/bash" at the top of dbstart/dbshut scripts.

Solution

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$ vi dbstart   /  dbshut

  --> add the following in the first line of dbstart/dbshut files
  --> or replace the value #!/bin/sh with the following:

#!/bin/bash
